Lyrics

• Romaji
• Original

(Akari/Ayaka) Harukana sora ni utsushidasu
Iro azayakana aachi wa
Suiheisen e tsuzuiteku
Kanata e no passuporto

(Shiori/Reni) Sagashiteta kotae wa shinkirou
No yume no naka ni

(All) Hyaku oku kounen
Hanarete mo boku wa
Kimi o aishiteru
Ryuusei ni notte
Mukae ni yuku kara
Milky way no kagayaki no naka de

(Kanako/Shiori/Ayaka) Haruka mukashi ni kizuiteta
Iro hasenu monogatari wa
Mirai no chizu o egaiteku
Kotoba janai realism

(Ayaka/Momoka/Reni) Dakishimeta omoi wa
Kinjitou no yume ni kawaru

(All) Hyaku oku kounen
Mae kara bokura wa
Tomo ni aruiteru
Kirameku seiza no
Omokage no naka de
Hoshikuzu no kakera o sagasou

(Shiori) Nani yori mo taisetsuna
Mono o miushinai sou na toki

(Shiori/Momoka) Shinjitsu no kagi wa
Orion no saki ni

(All) Hyaku oku kounen
Hanarete mo boku wa
Kimi o aishiteru
Ryuusei ni notte
Mukae ni yuku kara
Milky Way no kagayaki no naka de

はるかな 空に映し出す 色鮮やかな アーチは
水平線へ 続いてく 彼方へのパスポート
探してた答えは 蜃気楼の夢の中に

100億光年離れても 僕は君を愛してる
流星に乗って 迎えに行くから
ミルキーウェイの輝きの中で

はるか昔に 気付いてた 色あせぬ 物語は
未来の地図を 描いてく 言葉じゃない リアリズム
抱きしめた思いは 金字塔の夢に変わる

100億光年前から 僕らは共に歩いている
キラメく星座の面影の中で
星屑のカケラを探そ う

何よりも大切なものを 見失いそうなとき
真実の鍵は オリオンの先に

100億光年離れても 僕は君を愛してる
流星に乗って 迎えに行くから
ミルキーウェイの輝きの中で

Trivia

• The theme in the song resembles Mouretsu Uchuu Koukyoukyoku Dai Nana Gakushou: Mugen no Ai, as the song that acted as a metaphor of a love throughout the outer space. Both songs also mentioned about a love even they're billions light years apart. There's also hoshikuzu (星屑, stardust) mentioned in both song as a possible nod to their agency, Stardust Promotion.
